Sub-Zero built-in refrigeration is aimed at kitchens planned around food storage, where cooling is set into the cabinetry rather than standing alone. The range covers stainless steel American-style and Professional fridge freezers, as well as the panel-ready Designer Series. Designer Series models take custom panels so they disappear behind your kitchen doors. Most models come in left- and right-hand hinge versions, which helps when planning where the doors open.
The Designer Series is built around columns: separate fridges, freezers and wine storage that you can pair side by side. Sub-Zero designs these columns to be modular, so they can be combined in whatever arrangement suits the room. Column fridges come in 610, 762 and 914 mm widths, and some have an internal water dispenser. Frost-free column freezers come in 457, 610 and 762 mm widths, each with an ice maker. If you'd rather have one appliance, the tall Designer Series fridge freezers in 762 and 914 mm widths are frost free, have a 70/30 fridge-to-freezer split and include an internal water dispenser.
For wine, the column wine storage units have two temperature zones, so reds and whites can be kept at different temperatures, and they fit Champagne bottles. Capacity grows with width. The tall 762 mm wine storage unit adds refrigerator drawers and a third zone, which is useful if you want drinks and fresh food in the same space.
The stainless steel models are for kitchens where the appliance is meant to be seen. The 1219 mm Classic side-by-side fridge freezers are frost free and have a plumbed-in ice and water dispenser on either the outside or the inside of the door, with a choice of Pro or Tubular handles. The 914 mm Professional fridge freezers come with a solid or glass door and have an air purification system, a high-humidity crisper drawer and a roll-out freezer drawer with an automatic ice maker.
To narrow the choice, start with how you want the kitchen to look. Pick panel-ready Designer Series columns if you want everything hidden, or stainless Classic or Professional models if you want a statement piece. Then match widths to your cabinetry.
